Our methodology
We publish market intelligence on junior talent, industry and skills across France and Europe. What you read here should be checkable line by line: this is how we work.

Articles with verified sourcing
Read live from our editorial database and updated on every publication.
Every figure carries a named source
We do not publish a statistic without naming the institution, the report and the year it comes from. Citations are stored as structured records rather than buried in prose, so each one can be checked on its own.
Primary sources come first
OECD, Eurostat, INSEE, the European Commission, France Stratégie, company regulatory filings and annual reports take precedence over second-hand commentary. When we cite private analysis (a consultancy, bank or media outlet), we label it as such.
Fact, forecast and opinion stay separate
Published data, a market projection and our editorial view are not the same thing. Forecasts are presented as forecasts, with their author and horizon attached.
Date precision is respected
If a source only states a year, we display a year. We never invent a precise date to manufacture an impression of rigour.
Corrections are owned, not hidden
A reported error gets fixed and the article's last-reviewed date is updated in public. If you find a stale or inaccurate figure, tell us.
We publish under identified desks
CareerOn does not fabricate personal bylines or academic credentials. Articles are attributed to institutional desks whose remit is described publicly.
Who writes
Our analysis is produced by internal desks, cross-reviewed before publication.
What we owe you, and our record
We hold ourselves to a first response within 24h for a message, 24h for an employer role brief, and 48h for a simulation request.
Who can touch the record
98 routines, 56 tables, 41 interior guards: declared in the codebase, generated into the database, and re-proved on every build.
- What may be called, and by whom
- Every one of the 98 database routines behind this publication has a declared reach: 19 may be called by a public page, 28 require an editorial identity, 13 require an unexpired sweep capability, and 12 may be called by no account at all. The permissions in the database are generated from that declaration, never granted by hand, and 56 tables carry a declared per-role reach beside it.
- Why a permission is not an authorisation
- A permission is held by a role, and “signed in” is a role: a newsletter subscriber who confirmed an email holds it. So 41 privileged routines carry a second test written inside their own body (an editorial role, or a dated sweep capability) and refuse the wrong caller there, not at the door. Our build proves each of those bodies carries its guard, and calls the routines with a wrong caller to watch them refuse.
- What we refuse to do with your data
- A form you send us is readable by the desk that answers it and by nobody else: no public page may read an intake register, and the waiting time we publish is measured from columns the database writes itself, so a reopened case cannot rewrite a recorded wait. We publish no personal figure below our disclosure floor, and we hold no reader profile, no advertising identifier and no third-party script: the pages you are reading fetch nothing from another company.
When a dossier must show its figures
A dossier of 1200 words or more, resting on at least 6 cited sources, owes at least one table or key figure built from those sources: at that length, an argument made only in prose is hiding its arithmetic. Below that threshold nothing is owed, and we say so.
Both languages get the same exhibits: serving a French reader a thinner dossier is a defect in its own right. What remains outstanding is counted, capped (14 as of round 274) and may only fall: no release is allowed to add to that debt.
What we do not do
- We do not publish testimonials, ratings or client results we cannot substantiate.
- We do not present an internal estimate as an official statistic.
- We do not sell editorial coverage: no article in this publication is sponsored.
